We Dare developer Ubisoft revealed the game was pulled “following public reaction to the 12+ rating of We Dare.” The rating was awarded because most of the flirtatious fun was supposed to take place between those poor souls playing the game. The actual on-screen action was rather more suggestive than overtly explicit

NOBODY would've complained if it wasn't "marketed" to 12 year olds.
It's a game of a provocative and lustful nature, and basically encourages sex.

The rating has nothing to do with who the game is marketed at. The marketing is done by the publisher's marketing department. The rating is done by a government agency. So the filthy, perverted, sex-crazed, indecent people who deemed the game suitable for teens is the government. And I didn't see any teens in the commercials so no, it's not "marketed" at them.

You're one of those anti-fun Brits, right?
Looked like a crappy game to begin with.
Point is a provocative game like that shouldn't be played by 12 year olds, for its intended/suggested usage the age rating should have at least been a 16+.
It brings up criticism of the ratings system to begin with.

Do I have to explain this?
When I say "marketed" I mean people misinterpret the goddamn age label's purpose.
I know full well what the implications of the age ratings are, and they're legally binding in the UK too.

If someone first discovered this dirty looking game on the shelf with only a 12 rating, they WOULD be disgusted.Just look at the boxart.

And whose fault is that? Who decides the ratings again? And if the rating system is that retarded, of course it should be criticized. And what's the point of a rating system anyway, if the people have no idea what it means?

So people are idiots. You still have to explain how that makes the game any worse than it would be if it was rated 16+ or M or whatever.

Boxart has a 12+ along with "Parental Guidance advised".
So...why is it 12+?

Click to expand...

Because it didn't fit the criteria for a 16+ rating, according to the letter of the rating system. It contains no tits, violence or harsh language, therefore it doesn't warrant a higher rating. [/sarcasm]

so it's not available in US and UK so where the fuck are they gonna sell it than? bet you anything it won't be allowed here either
Its available in mainland Europe. France etc.

I mean, yes, there's the plus, but still...

Parental Guidance sticker is there to stop idiotic parents buying it for their 12 year olds and being shocked by the content of course. Makes perfect sense to me and seems very responsible of Ubisoft considering the low age-rating it was given.
